Blockchain/DLT Paving Way for Secure Data Sharing in Healthcare

Great article that aligns well with our perspective and the potential benefits of distributed ledgers in healthcare: “Today, healthcare data is mostly in silos within enterprises across providers, payers, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and increasingly also with patients and consumer health organizations. There is massive untapped potential to both improve the quality of patient care and reduce the cost of care with targeted safe sharing of this healthcare data.

In the near term, blockchain, or decentralized ledger technology, can be used across a broad variety of existing B2B networks of health and life sciences organizations to enable secure discovery, location, and sharing of healthcare data.”
